What Counts as a Dog Bite Case?

In Ohio, dog owners are strictly liable for injuries their pets cause – meaning you don’t need to prove the dog had a history of aggression. If you were bitten or attacked, the law is on your side.

Common dog bite claims involve:

  • Children bitten while playing outdoors
  • Adults attacked while walking or jogging
  • Postal workers or delivery drivers bitten on the job
  • Injuries caused by dogs not on a leash or under control
  • Serious bites requiring stitches, surgery, or scarring treatment

Whether the incident happened in a busy Columbus suburb or a quiet street in Delaware, we’ll help you hold the dog’s owner accountable and seek fair compensation for what you’ve been through.

What Compensation Can You Receive After a Dog Bite?

Dog bites can cause more than just physical pain. Many victims, especially children, face long-term trauma, disfigurement, and anxiety after an attack. A personal injury claim can help you recover costs and support your healing process.

In Ohio, you may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Emergency medical treatment and hospital care
  • Infection treatment and follow-up care
  • Reconstructive or cosmetic surgery
  • Lost wages from time off work
  • Emotional distress and trauma
  • Permanent scarring or disability

We help dog bite victims across Worthington, Newark, Marysville, Coshocton, and nearby communities recover the full value of their claims. And remember, you only have two years from the date of the attack to file a claim in Ohio. The sooner we investigate, the better we can preserve the facts and protect your right to compensation.
